My momma cat got sprayed by a skunk and she STINKS!!! It was in our back porch and she was trying to get it off. Thank God she got sprayed outside and not in the house. What do I do with her now?

or tomato juice bath, juice is cheaper I think :thinking

Our vet carries shampoo specifically to remove skunk odor... might call your vet?

oh gosh I am so sorry.. you will have to give her a few baths to get the smell out completly.. I remember when I got sprayed, it was nasty,( stop laughing, it was so not funny) I didnt even do anything to that damn skunk, I stayed as far away from it as I could, and the boys ran up on it trying to hit it with there bikes, NONE of them got sprayed, But I did, and I was trying to stay away from it, anyways I had to take a tomato soup bath, a cople of them to get the smell completly out.. Good luck.. Hugs and Kisses Nikki

it sounds funny,but when I used to groom dogs we used vinager douch. It worked good . It might be hard to give your cat a bath if she is not used to it. You can also got to petsmarts web site and look what they have for cats.

We used vinegar and water. She got it full in the face and looked so pitiful. I wrapped her up in a towel and DH wiped her face with babywipes sprayed with vinegar. It seemed to have worked. Her face looks much better this morning and she really doesn't smell to bad. I'm going to get some Oust air sanitizer today for the lingering smell in the bathroom closest to where she got sprayed. Haven't even gone onto the back porch.

I know I'm a little late on this but we've always used tomato juice.
